PLAYER OF THE MONTH AWARDS
PREMIER DIVISION - JASON HART OF COLNE
Jason left Colne last season to try his luck in the Evo-Stik League but returned at the later end of the season. He has gained his rewards for the hard work he has put in during pre-season, and returned to the team fitter and hungrier.
In an extremely good team performance in the opening game of the season, Jason stood out with a four goal haul in Colne's 6-2 win over Winsford United. He scored the opening goal after an good passing move and added a second and Colne’s third just before half time with a sublime finish. As Colne gained the ascendency he scored the fifth and sixth goals to put the game beyond Winsford. He was rightfully named MOM.
Away to Maine Road, the team turned in another good team performance in a 3-1 win, despite going a goal behind. Jason played his part in keeping the home defence very much on its toes, and scored the all important third goal at the start of the second half by converting a penalty.
Colne have had a barren run in the FA Cup over recent years so to visit local rivals Barnoldswick and hand out a 5 -0 beating gave a lot of satisfaction to all at the club. Although Jason failed to make the score sheet, the two goals scored prior to half time were both the result of Jason’s run and crosses.
For the next game at home to Darwen, manager Steve Cunningham made a few changes for this game and Jason joined the fray just after half time with the Reds winning 4 -1, and he scored almost as soon as he entered the field to take the score to 5-1, in a game that eventually ended 6-1.
The home 2-2 draw against Runcorn Town was the only game Colne failed to win during the month, and after Runcorn took a two goal lead Jason started the comeback by scoring a minute after the Runcorn second, with a predator's goal from inside the six yard box.
The month ended with a fine 5-2 win at Tadcaster in the FA Cup, although having started the game with some mazy runs, Jason became the subject of some heavy tackles and came off injured after only 25 minutes. He contently watched from the sidelines as the Colne forward line again destroyed the home defence.
DIVISION ONE - KEVIN TOWEY OF BARNTON
6 goals in 4 games, including an opening day hat-trick against Daisy Hill has been an excellent return in Kevin's opening few games since returning to Barnton.
The former Runcorn Linnets striker hit a nineteen minute hat trick at Daisy Hill, superbly taking all three goals to put the icing on a 6-1 victory.
Towey then was the match winner against Irlam, when in the 86th minute his fantastic run and finish gave Barnton a 1-0 victory.
His final two goals of the month were scored on the road at Holker Old Boys, when again a quirk fire double propelled Barnton to a richly deserved 4-1 win.
Towey's goalscoring excellence has been coupled with his excellent all round link up play, and he also created a further three goals for team mates throughout the month of August.
GOALKEEPER OF THE MONTH AWARDS
PREMIER DIVISION - MATT CONKIE OF 1874 NORTHWICH
Matt has enjoyed an excellent start to the new season and started with three clean sheets on the bounce, against Squires Gate, Cammell Laird 1907 and West Didsbury & Chorlton.
In the first game against a strong Squires Gate side, Matt had a quiet first half, just having the one save to make and this he did comfortably, showing his ability to concentrate and be ready to deal with any danger.
In the second half he was called upon to make two good saves to prevent the visitors from getting back into the game. They had a series of corners but again Matt was on hand to comfortably deal with all the threats.
To top an impressive month of performances, Matt also became the first player to make 100 appearances for 1874 Northwich, when he played hsi part in a 3-1 win and was only beaten by a fine goal.
Over the course of the month the Greens played six games, won four and drew won, and Matt's performances were key in the side's good start to the season.
DIVISION ONE - JOE CLEMENTS OF ASHTON TOWN
Joe has played for the club for a number of seasons and is currently vying for the regular keeper position with Shaun Dailey.
Town manager John Brownrigg has told them both that they will be playing for the number one position on form, and Joe played in the first league game away at Widnes and did well in a game that Town won 3-2.
However, the manager wanted to blood both keepers early in the league campaign to ascertain strengths and weaknesses, so although Joe did well in the first match, Shaun Dailey took the shirt in the home defeat against Irlam.
However, during that game Shaun broke a finger and this gave Joe his opportunity.
He played in the 5-1 home win to Northwich Manchester Villa, the 2-0 win at Litherland REMYCA and in the thrilling 4-3 win at home to Eccleshall, and he was solid in supporting the back line and barking out instructions in all three victories.
